My Favorite Colors in Hex

As y'all know, I'm not called "RAINBOW Heron" for nothing! I was born with the arts and the rainbow in my blood and it's eternally etched into my DNA. So naturally, when I first started learning HTML, I wanted to know all of the HexColors that were available to all of us programmers!

In the week before this site was launched, I wanted to actually make a database of each and every single HexColor possible and put it online, since all I ever see are the "best of" or "most frequently used" HexCharts. Well, I started to then, click here to see why I didn't. Ergo, I decided just to link to the best HexColor sites I could find, and put up my fav HexColors here! So enjoy and always remember to

Please note that all names given in quoation marks came from me, except for "purple".

Your Basic HexColors:

My Favorite Interesting HexColors:

• All-Time Favorites not up yet

Links:

• Doug
  • Doug's Homepage
  • Doug's Color Picker allows you to do a 'test run' of color coordination in his popup window. write in the codes yourself or click on his HexCart! Uses Java
• Haberñero shows 'the 216 colors' AS the HexCodes! for better viewing, you can see the same list on a black, white, or grey background! The link points to the white one (best one to start with IMHO)
• Hype shows a nice list of many colors in table form, including both tyes of coding. but they come up with the colors' 'names' themselves
• Color Maker will customize the colors on your site!

Why no database?

[...continued from top] Well, I did the calculations and found that such a task would be impossible! If my calculations are correct, the total number of HexColors would be: 2.092278989¹³ (that's 10 numbers [0-9] and 6 letters [A-F] in 6 different placements)!!!!! Now I know that's probably too high since I used the "x!" option on my calculator, but I do know for a fact that it's well over 50,000! So needless to say, the mega database idea was given to the trash can.
